"If you're looking for an audio recording of Howard Blake's magical "Walking in the Air," with the appropriate vocals of an English choir-boy, this recording disappoint you. The vocals are adult - soprano and tenor - and are completely lacking in the charm of The Snowman animated film. It's basically been turned into a cheap romance song, a la Disney's adult renditions of Beauty and the Beast, Somewhere Out There, etc. In fact, other than the title track, none of the other tracks are remotely related to The Snowman. The 3-disc set of "The Snowman" music cds packages this disc with two others, also completely unrelated to the cartoon."

If you are looking for music from The Snowman don't get this

"I should have read the CD cover with more care but it looked right though I couldn't see the copyright date or the main artists. This is a 'nice' CD, I was taught that nice is a good word for damning with faint praise. Anyway, it's nice, nice like all sickly sweet and amorphous things can be in small doses. But this cover version of Walking in the Air has none of the class of the Aled Jones original. Save yourself a few wasted bucks and buy a version with Aled Jones and the proper orchestration."

You can find the original soundtrack on Amazon.co.uk.

"If you're looking for the soundtrack to the film based on Raymond Briggs' book, this isn't it. However, the original soundtrack is available from Amazon.co.uk. (Search for "The Snowman" under popular music.)"
